this is false. even an Everettian cannot avoid reducing the wavefunction. They will literally be unable to correctly use QM if they avoid doing so.

21/24 Since a spell has no intentions, it can read the information and even transcribe it elsewhere… But… if someone with impure intentions were to look upon this transcription, the wavefunction would still collapse (think delayed-choice experiment).

since the wavefunction spreads superluminally, I might an instant later find the particle somewhere else outside of the lightcone of the first location. But to some other observer in motion relative to me, these two events are simultaneous, or even in the opposite time-ordering.

if a particle is localized like this, the wavefunction spreads outside the lightcone. Does this mean causality is violated? Not necessarily. Actually this basically still happens in QFT (eg the Reeh-Schlieder theorem). In that case causality is not violated, and the reason is down to the fact that

Many Worlds is incoherent metaphysically extravagant sophistry. It cannot make a single empirical prediction because it denies anything exists with empirical properties, and it directly allows for contradictory accounts of reality even on a single branch of the wavefunction.

From the engineering chair, the useful question is often which description lets you predict and act, not which ontology wins the argument. Psi-epistemic framing feels like that: the wavefunction as a tool for what you can know and do, rather than a claim about the furniture of the world.

the win isn't a sharper truncation rule, it's that the basis moves with the state instead of being fixed up front. spend resolution where the wavefunction actually lives; a fixed grid wastes it wherever the state already left. adaptive basis = adaptive budget.

Fundamental limits on clock precision from spacetime uncertainty in quantum collapse models
Models of spontaneous wavefunction collapse explain the quantum-to-classical transition without invoking the von Neumann measurement postulate. Prominent frameworks, such as the Di\'osi-Penrose (DP) and continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) models, propose a continuous, spontaneous measurement of the mass density field of quantized matter. We show that this mechanism could link both models---not just DP---to fundamental uncertainties in Newtonian gravity. Despite their nonrelativistic nature, these models suggest an induced uncertainty in the flow of time due to fluctuations in the Newtonian potential. We calculate the ultimate limit on time uncertainty and demonstrate that the resulting clock-time uncertainty remains negligible for all contemporary timekeeping devices, including atomic clocks.
